Grey Goose

2017 14.3 HH Gray Paso Fino Gelding
 
“Goose” is a flashy young Paso Fino gelding with a bright future ahead. Rescued from a neglect case, he has been making steady and encouraging progress in his training. This adorable guy has a curious mind and always tries his best to impress—especially when treats are involved!
 
Goose is halter-broke and currently in groundwork training. He is not yet broke to ride and will require a knowledgeable, trainer-type adopter to continue his education. He is eager to learn and enjoys having a job, but still needs time and consistency to build confidence.
 
His primary challenge is separation anxiety when leaving his pasture friends. To support him, we’ve implemented a structured routine that gradually increases his distance from the field during each session, paired with positive reinforcement such as affection and snacks. He is also on SmartTranquility to help support his nervous system. This approach has led to noticeable improvement, and Goose continues to gain confidence and independence with each session.
 
Once Goose can remain calm and relaxed away from his field, we will begin under-saddle training. He is sound, willing, and shows great potential for the right person willing to invest the time.
 
If you’re seeking a rewarding project and enjoy helping a young horse grow into his potential, Goose may be the horse for you!

Adoption Home Level: Intermediate

This adopter has spent a good amount of time around horses—through lessons, mentorship, or hands-on experience—and feels confident handling and caring for them independently. They’re comfortable riding at all gaits (walk, trot, and canter), and can lunge or round pen a horse with ease. They also have some experience with less-seasoned or “greener” horses, especially when working with support from a trainer.
